Resetting the web console user password

You might need to reset the password for the default web console user admin if the password expired.

Note:

The default platform administrator apadmin user has an alias name admin for the web console operations. The web console can use both, admin or apadmin, which internally point to the same user : apadmin and they both have the same password. It is advised that the web console operations are operated using username admin and the platform CLI operations are operated with username apadmin.

Procedure

From the command line, log in to e1n1 as the root user.
Run the following command providing the new password for the user:
```
apusermgmt modify-user apadmin -p password
```
The default password for the admin user is password.
You can now log in to the web console using either apadmin or admin with the newly set password. Unless your system has a custom password policy set, the password expires after 90 days. You can also change the password at any time as described in Changing platform user password.
